The May 4th New Culture Movement and the Common People's Political Psychology Changes

The common people were still in the shadow of feudal autocratic doctrine and obscurantism after the Xinhai Revolution. As a result, CHEN Duxiu who represented radical democracy intellectual carried on the Xinhai Revolution's democratic spirit and initiated a democratic thought enlightenment campaign in the ideological sphere namely the New Culture Movement. This greatly enhanced the common people's democratic consciousness and laid a foundation of political psychology for the May 4th Movement, which again impelled the common people's political psychology to a new scene.
